Fortuitous

Fortuitous [adj] (fohr too ih tuhs)

Happening by chance

Fortunate

--

It seems wrong that sickness is such a fortuitous event. One moment, one is completely whole - agile, buoyant, and driven; the next the entire world is turned on its head. Wistfulness, lethargy, and irritation quickly take over and reign for a fortnight.

How I hope this doesn't reign for a fortnight.

Perhaps this fortuitous event will come to an end as quickly as it was brought on.
